Everyone's heard of Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Apple Pay, but
outside of these well-known and, to many, vital apps, there is a plethora of payment
apps to service your wallet needs.

Jaxx

Created in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio, Jaxx is a cryptocurrency wallet which can be
download on eight platforms. The app allows users to hold, control and trade blockchain-based
cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and Zcash.

Developed by Canadian blockchain company Decentral, Jaxx supports
more than 25 cryptocurrencies and tokens, and comes with free customer support.

The people behind the app describe it as being "as to
blockchain as Netscape was to the internet".

Zelle

Zelle enables users to quickly and securely send funds to bank
accounts, with funds available for enrolled recipients within a matter minute.

Among the banks that participate with Zelle are Bank of America,
Capital One, BBVA Compass, Morgan Stanley, SunTrust and Wells Fargo, along with
a host of other US banking giants (and a few smaller ones as well).

The free-to-use, secure app uses Masterpass, Mastercard’s digital
wallet service, and can be used in numerous locations such as for getting food
and drinks delivered to your seat in a cinema or at a stadium.

Qkr can accept American Express, Discover Cards, Mastercard and Visa,
and offers users a number of money-saving coupons and rewards.

Skrill offer what it terms "super-quick
payments" through its Skrill 1-Tap feature, while also offers exchange
from more than 100 alternative payment methods and 40 currencies into Bitcoin,
Bitcoin Cash, Ether and Litecoin instantly.

Venmo

Venmo may be owned by PayPal but is actually an app designed to send money to friends, rather
than businesses. It features an embedded social feature and has proven to be a
hit with a young, urban demographic.

According to PayPal's 1Q18 earnings, Venmo processed more than $12bn of total payment volume in the quarter,
marking an increase of 80% over the same period last year and demonstrating the
social payments platform's fast growth.

The company was initially acquired by Braintree for $26.2m in 2012,
before Braintree was acquired by PayPal in late-2013 for $800m.
